FAQs
Condos have by-laws residents must follow. Common rules cover noise (quiet hours), visitor sign-ins, proper garbage disposal, and use of shared facilities. Ask your landlord about any specific condo rules. Abiding by them will keep you out of trouble with management and neighbors.
Coordinate with your roommate about quiet hours, morning routines, and shared space usage during different schedules. Consider soundproofing measures like rugs, curtains, or white noise machines. Discuss kitchen and bathroom usage during early morning or late night hours. Establish guidelines for guests and entertainment when one person is sleeping.
1-bedroom units offer better work-life separation than studios with a dedicated bedroom for sleep and living area for work. You can have video calls without showing your bed, and maintain professional backgrounds. However, the limited space means you'll need efficient furniture and good organization. Consider noise levels from neighbors and ensure good internet connectivity for reliable remote work.
HDB 2-bedroom units offer more space and value but fewer amenities. Condo 2-bedrooms cost more but include facilities like pools and gyms. Landed 2-bedroom units (rare) provide maximum privacy and space but highest costs. Consider your priorities: budget and space (HDB), amenities and lifestyle (condo), or privacy and outdoor space (landed).
In a landed house, residents handle all the cleaning. Large spaces (living rooms, kitchen, stairs) mean more work, so housemates should set a chore routine or hire a cleaner together. Agreeing on who cleans what (and when) keeps the big home comfortable for everyone.
For unit-specific issues, contact your landlord first. For common area problems or facility issues, you can report directly to condo management. Some condos have apps or online portals for maintenance requests. Understand the difference between landlord responsibilities (your unit) and management responsibilities (common areas) to report issues to the right party efficiently.
Lower floors offer easier access during elevator outages and lower utility costs, but may have noise from foot traffic, security concerns, and limited views. Higher floors provide better views, less noise, and more privacy, but depend on elevators and may have higher cooling costs. Mid-level floors (3rd-8th) often balance these factors well. Consider your mobility needs, noise tolerance, and whether views matter to your daily comfort.
Generally, HDB flats are most affordable, condominiums cost 30-50% more than comparable HDB units, and landed houses are the most expensive. However, prices vary significantly by location - a prime location HDB might cost more than a suburban condo. Factor in additional costs like condo maintenance fees, landed house utilities, and transport expenses when comparing total housing costs.
